Yes, it’s suitable for both fiction and non-fiction authors. The most important thing to have is a willingness to learn, and a desire to grow your author business!

This programme is not be the best match for authors who are looking for a quick fix or overnight success.

It's also not the ideal choice if you consider your writing purely as a hobby or if you're not open to learning promotional methods that can boost your book sales.

My primary goal is to empower you to become your books’ very best marketer and show you how to establish the essential marketing systems for your author business.

We will have a one-hour coaching call every two weeks. Book marketing is an ongoing activity within your author business, and the amount of time you'll need to invest outside of our coaching sessions depends on your current setup and your familiarity with technology. A reasonable estimate would be approximately 2 hours per week dedicated to setting up your marketing system outside of our coaching calls.

The program is open to all self-published authors. To make the most of the program, it's recommended that you be in the publishing stages of at least one book. Ideally, contact me before you publish and before you commission your book cover as all of these things affect the success of your book launch plan.

Before we commence our collaboration, I will provide you with a brief form to complete. This form will gather information about your books and your past marketing efforts. I will then tailor the plan and coaching calls specifically to your book, ensuring that all research and analytics are customized to your unique situation. Additionally, during our Zoom calls, you are welcome to ask me any and all questions that come to mind.

While I can't give you an ironclad guarantee of skyrocketing book sales (there are many factors at play, including the quality of your books and what your competitors are up to), I can promise you this: you'll have a top-notch book marketing system in place, following the latest self-publishing best practices—something that's worked wonders for my own author business. And remember, your own hard work and dedication will also be key factors in the results you see.

Our coaching sessions are designed to be interactive and engaging conversations about your author business. We'll start by selecting a bi-weekly one-hour time slot that suits both of our schedules. Once we have that locked in, I'll send you a Zoom link that we'll use for all our sessions throughout our time together.

During each one-hour session, we'll cover a blend of teaching and practical application. I'll begin by providing insights into the key components that make up your launch plan and author ecosystem. Then, we'll delve into how those strategies specifically apply to YOUR book.

I want these sessions to be as beneficial as possible for you, so there's always room for questions and discussions. If you have any follow-up questions or need clarification between sessions, don't hesitate to reach out via email.

My goal is to ensure you have the support and guidance you need to succeed in building your author career.

No, apart from the development of your strategic book launch plan, implementation work is not included.

However, you have the opportunity to seek suggestions and feedback on any aspect of your book launch during or in between calls via email.

This may include your Amazon KDP metadata, book blurb, social media content, email content, and autoresponders, as well as promotions.

During your 1:1 calls, you and Linda can collaborate in real-time on setting up campaigns or programs that are tailored to your launch or ongoing book marketing. Or, if a question pops up in between calls, simply email me and I’ll get back to you with a short recorded video or email to help get you unstuck.

Finally, ‘done for you’ services are available separately and you can find out more about this on my services page.

The Author Success Programme coaching program equips you not only with knowledge but also with practical skills. During our sessions, I will demonstrate tasks live on screen, providing you with real-time guidance.

Moreover, between calls, feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. I'll promptly respond via email or record short videos to illustrate specific processes - this is something my clients often tell me they find incredibly useful!

Throughout our time together, you'll develop a robust understanding of book marketing fundamentals, ensuring you never waste time or money on ineffective strategies.
